Description

East Ash Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been converted into a house, with a bay added to the right in the 18th century. The building features colourwashed render over cob and stone, and has a half-hipped thatch roof, with 20th-century tiles on the rear. There is a stone lateral stack on the left finished in 19th-century brick and a large stone stack at the right end finished in 18th-century brick. The farmhouse is L-shaped with a rear left wing and stands two storeys high with a two-window range. The centre has a 20th-century door and a gabled porch. There are flat rendered arches over late 19th-century four-light casements. The 17th-century rear wing had its roof pitch widened in the 20th century, and there is an 18th-century dairy outshut with a 19th-century plank door to the right. Inside, there is an 18th-century plank door with strap hinges, and a chamfered bressummer over a half-blocked open fireplace on the left. The first floor has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest, noted as having an A-frame roof.
